About Jan
Jan Bradley is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with six years of professional experience. She combines clinical and lived experience from roles in counselling and mental health nursing. Jan supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
She listens in a direct, person-focused way and helps people name what is most pressing. Sessions include talking through difficult feelings, practising coping skills, and building small routines that reduce overwhelm. Jan draws on practical approaches rather than abstract theory so people can use what they learn straight away.
Jan also offers support for work-related strain such as workplace bullying and compassion fatigue. She works with people managing chronic pain, illness or disability, and those navigating divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, or major life transitions. Life purpose and questions about meaning after change are a regular focus in her work.
Her methods include client-centred conversation alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness techniques. That mix lets her combine skills training with reflective talk and grounding practices.
People who prefer straightforward language and clear steps tend to find her approach useful. She invites a steady pace and practical goals rather than quick fixes. To begin, people are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can explore their own concerns and values. It helps people who want space to make sense of stress or life change without being pushed into solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. CBT can be useful for workplace stress, social anxiety and panic attacks. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating emotions and managing intense reactions, which can be helpful after trauma or when compassion fatigue is overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may combine approaches across sessions. That collaborative process aims to match clear strategies with reflective conversation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit talking therapy into busy days by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins if needed. They also make it simpler to maintain continuity through life changes, and allow practice of skills in everyday settings without needing to rearrange large parts of a schedule.
